The age of old crooked white men is over. I guess the old crooked white women are moving in?

Scumbag feminist: Admit women are the 52% majority... Still want minority benefits for women.

fack_yo_couch · 2012-02-19T18:49:45+00:00

I kind of laughed and thought, "Yeah right. As if there aren't just as many female pro-lifers who are trying to deny you access". Her fight isn't against men. It is against the religious right wing. She is lucky she concealed her face so the world can't see how ignorant she is.

wow , perfect we have women admitting now that they are in the majority , this is something all men should see, this is what women think of us .

What about them making less money than men, according to most women, yet 'directing' 80% of the buying power? How's that work?

TracyMorganFreeman · 2012-02-19T18:32:02+00:00

Not given free healthcare=/=being denied healthcare.

crooked white man

So we're going to conflate gender, race and class(I presume "crooked" implies rich, because there is no such thing as an honest rich person), and then make it a gender equality issue.

Oh, and men can't speak for women? That's not sexist at all.

The era of dictating policy to is coming to an end? So, they're for anarchy, or do they just not want the law to apply to them?

We know how to direct 80% of the buying power...by directing men. Well women shouldn't be controlled, but it's totally okay women control men.

Oh, it's closer 50.5% not 52%. Additionally, women are in the majority because they die less because they do fewer dangerous jobs, have better healthcare(just check out prostate cancer versus breast cancer funding as a microcosm), aren't jailed as frequently or for as long for the same crime, and don't die in combat nearly as much.

Considering how they became the majority, I'm not sure I'd be proud of it.

C0CKPUNCHER · 2012-02-19T18:02:11+00:00

What a psycho.

2012-02-19T22:32:43+00:00

oh look a girl holding a poorly written sign up for a camera and posting it on the internet. Oh shit, we are fucked.

Feminists: Never realizing the old rich men they hate are the ones footing the bill for everything they feel entitled to.

All of this makes me glad I live in Australia. The NHS is working and the biggest arguments that have been had over it is whether or not to add a new medication to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and whether or not the hospitals should be run by the Federal instead of State governments.

Women have had the Pill on the PBS since 1972, done by... the Whitlam government.

PlanB became available via pharmacy request in 2004 under the Howard government.

Abortion is legal here if it's for the protection of the woman's life, and state-based after that. Where I live, it's completely legal for any reason.

worsethanrape · 2012-02-19T18:19:04+00:00

Whites are evil! Burn the whites!

I'm white but I've only kept two slaves in my life and one of them wasn't even black.

luciansolaris · 2012-02-19T21:37:46+00:00

The longer a government gives out free stuff, the more any restriction or withdrawl is seen as an outrageous attack.

koonat · 2012-02-19T21:19:15+00:00

SIGH

This is not the kind of shit this subreddit should be caring about.

This is about religious bigots and corporations refusing to pay for what is included in 'health care'.

nepidae · 2012-02-20T04:06:19+00:00

I'm not entirely sure why the color of someone's skin is relevant here.

lilbigmac · 2012-02-19T19:33:11+00:00

if men shouldn't speak for the bodies of women, then women shouldn't speak for the unborn bodies of men and women

sigtrap · 2012-02-19T19:50:30+00:00

Someone needs to switch the sexes around and see what kind of shitstorm it starts.

jayce513 · 2012-02-19T21:52:52+00:00

Why exactly is this on this subreddit?

Edit: No really, I might be missing something here. Why is it here?

NightAria · 2012-02-19T21:44:43+00:00

I don't get it, is MR's for birth control (mainly so women don't get preggers with their babies and control that guy for life) or are they against it?

BinaryShadow · 2012-02-19T20:47:05+00:00

Jesus all of the comments in this thread are overreacting. Look at this in the context of the current debate over whether it should be mandatory that everyone woman have access to contraceptive options and reproductive services through the health care plan that they ARE paying for.

The crooked old white men she's talking about are just those cardinals and members of congress who believe that an employer should have the right to impose their religious beliefs on their employees. Is that really something you support? Don't you agree with her about that?

She says nothing at all about wanting to control men. All she says is that she, and other women that agree with her, will do what is within their power to make those individuals who would deny women these basic health care needs suffer. Which is honestly something that I don't understand why we wouldn't get behind. Wouldn't you condemn a business owner who refused to provide reproductive services to his employees as part of his company's health care package because of his personal religious beliefs?

For all you know this woman would totally agree with us about issues of inequality that affect men - custody, child support, domestic violence, etc. You assume too much. It's the kind of knee-jerk reactions and over-generalizations that this thread is full of that are the problem on both sides...

tl;dr - Chill out people. She's only talking about a woman's right to reproductive health services.

DarthOvious · 2012-02-20T12:48:59+00:00

So basically she is not tollerating anybody refusing her access to contraception, meanwhile we are still waiting for companies to stop fucking around and get us the male pill.

chavelah · 2012-02-20T12:54:37+00:00

I don't understand the outrage.

Being infuriated that somebody else is trying to dictate when/how how you reproduce is a standard MRA stance.

Withdrawing yourself from the sexual marketplace because you do not have sufficient reproductive rights is ALSO a standard MRA stance.

Describing EITHER the GOP legislators pushing this bullshit OR that asinine morality panel as "crooked old white men" is not very far off the mark.

I can understand the libertarian objection to this lady and her sign, as most libertarians don't want to socialize healthcare at all, but from a purely MRA stance - I don't get it. Vigorous female objection to the current bullshit going on in Washington is not anti-male. When you assert that somebody else doesn't have a right to make healthcare choices for you, and that you're going to actively agitate to make them stop doing it, you're not being hateful to that person/ group of people. You're just not lying down on the ground and letting them stomp all over you. MRAs of all groups should appreciate THAT distinction.

Domestic-Extremist · 2012-02-21T09:25:15+00:00

Seen this posted by some of my female friends on social networks. Seriously reconsidering said friendships.

2012-02-25T10:11:51+00:00

Man, I bet the patriarchy is shaking in its boots.

TheRealPariah · 2012-02-19T20:51:20+00:00

Ain't democracy lovely?

TheBrohemian · 2012-02-20T00:52:04+00:00

The problem with the BC thing is that it is required to be covered AT NO CHARGE. Why? Why not diabetic testing supplies and insulin? Why not cancer screenings? It's as if they picked a controversial issue so they could paint it as a women's rights issue to make the other side look bad. The Republicans are right as this issue, but instead of sticking to the topic, they're just trying to appease the religious right.

SlimThugga · 2012-02-19T23:12:13+00:00

I'm not American so I don't understand the flak that's flying in this thread. Are you guys in this subreddit against healthcare coverage for BC as well? Seems really surprising. Why?

luciansolaris · 2012-02-19T23:36:23+00:00

THIS is why pure democracy is evil.

Would you really want the 52% to dictate to the 48%, considering that if they did we'd most likely still be in mud huts?

InflatableTomato · 2012-02-19T18:18:06+00:00

MRAs, pick your fights well. Don't go down in history with the likes of conservative old men denying healthcare to women. Downvote away.

Xanthu · 2012-02-20T04:07:09+00:00

This is a response to this new law coming through. It's an overreaction to an over-reactive procedure.

This is where Women still have to fight Men, because just like there are fucked up Women, there are some Fucked Up Men. And we can't ignore that Men do still have a larger share of "power" in the world today, especially older generations.

It's worth pointing out that the rhetoric is a step too far, but I wouldn't demonize the woman for the context.

ThePigman · 2012-02-19T23:50:27+00:00

"I guess the old crooked white women are moving in?"

If her complexion is anything to go by, it's the "wise latino women" that are moving in.

2012-02-20T16:19:15+00:00

I hate to admit it but if it will put women back in their place I'll back the crooked old white men with my last breath.

The thing is though is that it is those same crooked white men who allowed feminism to become so strong in the first place. They wanted docile workers that they could pay less and their greed resulted in women becoming the self-absorbed untrustworthy bitches that they are now.

So don't look to the crooked old white men to help us out here. It's going to take societies utter collapse to put women back in the homes.
